Pastor Matters

Is it the responsibility of the pastor to mentor future pastors? What are some ways pastors can shepherd the guy(s) in their church who feel a desire towards the pastorate? Join Ronjour and Brandon this week as they discuss ways pastors can invest in the next generation of church leaders and why it’s important that they do.

In Acts 20:27, Paul said “I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.” What does he mean when he said “declaring the whole counsel of God” and should this be something pastors should pursue each Sunday? Join us this week as we answer this question and discuss the benefits of preaching the whole counsel of God, as well as the challenges involved.

We live in an age of distraction. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, pastors were in a battle over the formation of their sheep. Are churches losing this battle to form Christians because of media consumption? How has COVID-19 affected the way Christians are being spiritually formed? How can pastors protect their sheep from the big bad wolves? Join Ronjour Locke and Brandon Ward this week as they discuss the impact media has had on spiritual formation within the church.

Waiting is not easy and can test us in more ways than one. Having a desire to pastor a church, but still be waiting on an opportunity to come along can be difficult. Join us this week as we talk about productive ways to grow while sitting in the “waiting room.”

This week, we want to continue a previous conversation on race. Join us as we discuss what the Bible says about race and how churches can be proactive in speaking out against injustice.

Join us this week, as we discuss social media and provide ways pastors can utilize social platforms in a wise and God-glorifying way.

The past few months have been difficult for everyone, especially pastors. This week we want to talk about what we have learned from the past few months as COVID-19 continues to prevent churches from gathering together.

The Pastor Matters Podcast seeks to equip and encourage pastors in whatever context of ministry they find themselves in. Join us each week as we look at various topics related to preaching and pastoral leadership. It is our desire to see pastors lead healthy, disciple-making churches for the glory of God around the world!
